Not that I can afford any of them but...

Well, I need to find something to put my new computer on and I know I want something old but I just can't decide on the style I am going for...Do I want to be a mid-century gal with clean lines and sleek designs? Or do I want the look of victorian/art deco design with it's curves and prettiness and interesting lines and historic feel? I just don't know! I think about it and say - "it's this" and feel pretty sure but then moments later I waver and just dont' know. I go back and forth. Here are a few examples - nothing too great - just some things I could find. For the most part I know which I would choose but it's not all in one category. Sometimes the comparison isn't fair because one piece is old and junky or the photo is inferior but you get the picture...But looking at them now I just am totally attracted to ALL of the mid-century stuff. It just seems right for our age and stage in life. But then there is a lot of merit to the other stuff. It's more magical to me. It seems less uptight. It seems like it could tell beautiful stories. The mid stuff doesn't tell beautiful stories - just cool ones. Though I love when these two styles met in the 30's and 40's - in all that Hollywood glam. So, as for me and my rented tiny house...I just don't know. In the end it will depend on what I find and what I can afford - let us just hope I don't get tired of looking and go get something at Target.
